Judgment and Order (536)
HELD:
"There is no doubt that Section 294 of the 1999 Constitution has come under so much judicial searchlight that its effect on adjudication has been put to rest.
HELD:
"I have already described the style adopted by the lower Court at page 148 of the Records of Appeal as unusual, awkward and a faux pas.
HELD:
"It is settled law that it is not every peccadillo or error committed by the lower Court that will result in its judgment being set aside on appeal except where it occasioned a miscarriage of justice.
HELD:
"By all odds, though the style employed by the lower Court at page 148 of the Records of Appeal may be unusual and awkward, but it remains the style which the presiding Judge of the lower Court used.
HELD:
"It is pertinent to emphasise that judgment writing is an art and there are as many variants to judgment writing as there are judgments and Judges.
HELD:
"It is a general principle of law that a consequential order is essentially one which would make the principal order effectual and effective.
HELD:
"The problem the Appellant faces in this appeal is that he did not take steps to have the order made on the 3rd of June 2013; that the appeal be heard on the respondent's brief alone, discharged/set aside.
